I forgot to mention, the soldering on the tone looks original. That wouldn't be the case if it was refinished.

This is my old bass, I sold it back in 2008. I had absolutely no reason to believe that it was not original, I also had it for sale at NKR Vintage Guitar Emporium, they too obviously had no doubts about it. The neck pocket looks fine, I know Helder has concerns about the paint in the pocket, notably in the sides. It is common for these to look like that, just check Google images or vintage dealers sites. Of course, it is worth remembering that fender back than often had variations, dispcrepencies and at times inconsistency. You can never always tell if a body is original to a neck. But with these in the condition they are in, and with the parts all looking absolutely legit, it would be unlikely that these don't belong together. These basses have a thick poly lacquer, therefore if they are well cared for and played with a strap above someone's belt you won't find much wear on the neck or body. This too is very common. One pot has been changed, I did that because the original was broken and not fixable, the original was included in the sale. I remember the bass being clean and well looked after. I liked it a lot, and only sold it among a few others when I bought my original 1964 Precision. Hope this helps.

[quote name='Noisyjon' timestamp='1425748489' post='2710338'] I've pared back and simplified my board to suit my needs now so here you go! This is a rough layout trial and nothing's velcro'd down in this pic. Signal path is: Tuner into VT Bass Deluxe into Cali76 Compressor. Simple but effective (see what I did there!) [/quote] Nice! Do you not find that the TU2 sucks out some tone? Could be worth taking the signal to it from the VT parallel output if so,my TU2 is a tone killer.

Sold pending the usual.... -
Avoid superglue guys, wood glue has its purpose.
-
Seen that on a few guitars, not a huge issue I reckon. Get some wood glue into a syringe, inject it in and clamp it. It'll be tough as old boots after that.

Bump!

Blue [/quote] Not sure I'm with you there from a personal point of view. it's quality over quantity, one door opened for me, it was a good one and my life has more meaning now and purpose in a wider context.

Health issues. However one door closes, another opens, and life moves on. I've been lucky, that the opening door had some good stuff behind it.

Looks like a cool venue, great to see the pics. I spent a couple of months sleeping in that basement back in 2006, it was a partially flooded stinking mess of a place back then - nice to see its got a proper purpose now.

Job well done sir.

Up for sale is a killer 'players' Telecaster, made in 1977. This isn't a trebly twangy Tele, it's got some balls to go along with the great clean tones typical of a Tele. It's super comfortable, has a gorgeous neck, not like the ones often found on the post 1978 Tele's that were clubby and unshapely, this Tele plays sweetly. It's not a backbreaking typical 70's Fender - weighs in at a nice 8.07lbs. Comes with:[list] [*]Fender Custom Shop Twisted Tele pickups - ORIGINAL PICKUPS ARE INCLUDED IN THE SALE [*]Kluson Machine Heads - ORIGINAL MACHINE HEADS ARE INCLUDED IN THE SALE [*]Custom Shop 4 way selector switch - allows the neck and bridge pick up to be used in series, like a humbucker - very cool. [*]Hiscox STD-EF hard case, with key. [/list] The pots have been changed over the years and three of the rear string ferrules have been replaced (The metal bits on the back, where the strings go into the body). Truss rod, neck and everything are functioning as they should. This is a great workhorse of a guitar, 38 years worth of playing and natural relicing, plus it's cheaper than a new Fender USA reissue.

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1423960527' post='2691034'] YAS, I have my lost dog back with me! [/quote] Nice one! Was it the Epi LP Bass? How did you do it...cash, blackmail, murder???.

Reasoning 1) A good Jazz Bass is a good Jazz Bass, so easily replaceable. It's typical for players to return to a Jazz or P after a period of time, though of course not always. Reasoning 2 ) If you're sentimental and ever return to a Jazz Bass after selling it.... Basses are just wood, there are tons out there. But there is only one that perhaps means something to you - if you're that kind of guy. From experience, I've moved on and sold my sentimental ones for required upgrades needed or wanted at the time. Sure, it'd be fun to have them back if I had the cash, but I don't lose any sleep over it. But, like Howie said, nowt wrong with keeping it to be sentimental.

Bump for new pics in post 2 -
Keep an eye on gbase.com, spares often turn up there with patience. It's good for links to US guitar shops too so you could fire off some emails.

Mr Brewer is one of my best mates, and you'll never find him far from some amazing basses. I suggested that he use the site when he said that he needs to sell a bass. Though he's a newbie, he's genuine. This CS Precision is gorgeous, the tone is absolutely spot on and it looks great, especially the bits where the Candy Apple Red comes through, looks amazing in the flesh.

Yeah, fun basses, unique tone but oh so heavy for a short scale during this period. Put some flats on and you'll have the Air - Moon Safari sound, I remember a lot of people going nuts for that tone in the late 90's, some say it was a MM but who knows? I used to have a couple of 71 Musicmasters, one original and one heavily modded with P Bass pickups, they are much lighter with amazing necks, but certainly not the best basses out there.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1423996166' post='2691213'] Yep, included a 57, a 66, a 71 and a (my) 78 Precision and the Hoppus beat them all significantly. [/quote] I don't mean to disrespect the Hoppus basses, they are good basses I know. But the quarter pounder pickup will always sound much bigger and more impressive than most P Bass pickups when played on its own and that can easily sway people if just hearing the bass going through an amp. I have friends that swear by them, personally I never liked them in the mix - only as they don't suit my style. And as noted earlier, it's all about the mix. Edit - I'm talking about the quarterpounder pickup, not the Hoppus bass!

[quote name='phaty' timestamp='1423980453' post='2691081'] I don't have a band and I don't mix it - I am a beginner who needs to practice this way because I am on the road a lot. When I am with my bass teacher it is something like "in the mix" because I play along songs or drum computers and it is okay there. Doesn't help me too much when I practice without any music and simply annoy myself with the noise I make But it seems like I have to live with that, which is okay ... [/quote] I mostly play with headphones at home. I've been using the Panasonic ones in the link below for years now. That are well rated by what hi if and cost under £50. Last year I went to a hi fi shop with my bass set up and £250, hoping to come home with some better headphones. Though the mp3's I play along to sounded better on the expensive ones, the bass was massively better on the Panasonic, more depth, clarity and punch. The bass tone was most important for me,always nice to hear the tone of your bass. I came home with my original headphones and my cash. Nice. http://www.whathifi.com/panasonic/rp-htx7/review

It was my pleasure to sell a bass to Chris. Due to a late train and quick meet at the station we only had a brief chance to chat, but even that and an earlier phone call was more than enough to work out Chris is a genuine good guy and someone you'd definitely buy a pint. Great communication, easy payment and all round easy and pleasurable sale (aside from the fact he pinched a damn good bass from me!). All the best pal, enjoy that amazing bass!
